Chapter 55: Something is wrong
Lin Nianbei listened to Lin Murong’s words and felt something was off.
The more he listened, the more off it seemed.
“Murong.”
“It’s okay, uncle. You’re my uncle, I should help you. But Galaxy is also my friend, one of my few friends—I can’t just send my friend to his death because of you.” Lin Murong waved his hand, his face resolute.
Lin Nianbei: “…”
Definitely off.
But he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Most of the Superpower Users Lin Nianbei brought were almost knocked out, and the few remaining were responsible for carrying people back. Su Yinhe didn’t want to listen to him, leaving Lin Nianbei no choice but to give her a deep look and leave with his people.
His cold hadn’t healed and he got drenched again in rain. As expected, his condition worsened when he got back.
After Lin Nianbei left, Qin Mingzhou gave Lin Murong a thumbs up.
“Not bad at all. Quite the speaker.”
“That’s right. I know exactly what my uncle is up to.” Lin Murong was a bit proud.
“Galaxy, Galaxy, what are we eating tonight?” Lin Murong, done being proud, showed concern about the evening’s meal.

These past few days, they had been sleeping in the cave at night and playing in the supermarket during the day. Little Galaxy would also cook for them.
Three meals a day, a variety of dishes.
Eating all this, he felt like marrying Galaxy.
Su Yinhe counted on her fingers, “Let me think—fairy meat, jubilant meatballs, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour ribs, spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, smoked meat fried rice, stir-fried baby bok choy…”
Lin Murong wiped his mouth, almost drooling.
Qin Mingzhou: “Sister, stop, you’re making your brother drool.”
Chi Yan calmed down a bit, but he stopped playing with his Rubik’s cube and sat straight, watching Su Yinhe intently.
“That’s about it for now,” Su Yinhe finished counting and felt a bit regretful; she had wanted to cook even more, but there wasn’t enough time for too many dishes.
“Let’s have hot pot tomorrow and crack open a watermelon.” Su Yinhe was already planning tomorrow’s meal.
Rainy days and hot pot are a perfect match.
The last time they had hot pot, too much happened halfway, and it lacked flavor; her craving for hot pot was met, but not completely satisfied.
“Here? Will we get attacked?” Qin Mingzhou joked with a smile.
These past few days, they had been eating with Chi Yan setting up a table right here, with people coming and going. Those who had been hungry for a long time envied them so much they felt like snatching their food.
The three of them were powerful enough not to worry about being robbed. Additionally, with the supermarket’s defense system, no one dared to snatch.
But each mealtime, feeling the hungry gazes on them, the food seemed less appetizing.
“Hmm… let’s go to my place then.” Su Yinhe pondered for a moment; it was improper to keep eating here. After observing them for so many days, she felt she could trust these three.
Most importantly, she could protect herself and wasn’t afraid they would suddenly turn on her.
If Su Yinhe wasn’t capable of protecting herself, she would never let them come up.
But the system left her with much, and no one could harm her.
So Su Yinhe didn’t really mind letting them come up.
“Really? Can we really go to your place?” After so many days of interaction, Lin Murong knew that Su Yinhe’s home was on the fifth floor.
Although he was curious about what Little Galaxy’s home was like, he never mentioned wanting to go up.
Friends are friends, but boundaries shouldn’t be crossed.
But he hadn’t expected Little Galaxy to actually invite them up.
Does this mean they are really good friends now?
“Yeah. Cooking for you every day, I’m exhausted. Once you come up, you’ll take over. I need to rest.”
“No problem. I’ll take care of washing the vegetables,” Lin Murong patted his chest in assurance.
“I have no problem either. I can cut the meat,” Qin Mingzhou didn’t want to be outdone.
“I…” Chi Yan paused, “will give you a massage.”
Su Yinhe: “!!!?”
Lin Murong: “!!!” Holy crap! Climbing up the pole like that?
Qin Mingzhou: “???” Trying to take advantage of my sister?
After Chi Yan finished speaking, he stared straight at Su Yinhe.
Firm yet gentle.
Burned by his gaze, Su Yinhe quickly lowered her head, “Well, I’ll go cook.”
Her face heated up as she walked away, even stumbling a bit.
She admitted that because of Chi Yan’s handsome face, she was somewhat interested in him.
From her observations, he seemed to be interested in her too. But wasn’t this too straightforward?
During the meal, Su Yinhe kept her head down and focused on her food, while Chi Yan appeared as usual, showing no particular emotion.
Lin Murong had long known about Chi Yan’s feelings and after being surprised at how quickly Chi Yan moved, he just went on with his business and grabbed the food fiercely.
Qin Mingzhou, however, was not so happy. Just found his sister, and already a pig came to disrupt?
He was upset and naturally needed to vent.
So, whatever dish Chi Yan reached for, Qin Mingzhou grabbed it first.
Annoyingly, after he finished, he even gave Chi Yan a sorry smile and added a few words. “Sorry, I was too quick. You don’t mind missing out, right?”
Once, twice, Chi Yan had no reaction.
But starting from the third time, the two stopped eating and began battling with their chopsticks.
Occasionally, Lin Murong looked up, dazzled by their actions, then lowered his head and continued eating.
They weren’t eating; Murong benefited.
Initially, they started with chopsticks, but then moved on to kicking as well, and Lin Murong, busy stuffing his face, got accidentally kicked.
Someone stepped brutally on his foot, making him drop the food he was holding.
Lin Murong looked at them, sensed the weird tension, and quietly withdrew his feet.
Just eat, just eat.
He had no intention of getting involved in their war.
The two were fighting with chopsticks above and feet below.
In the end, nearly all the dishes ended up in Lin Murong’s stomach. He’d only served himself one bowl of rice and after finishing it, didn’t serve more but just focused on the dishes.
Now, with his stomach round and full, he only wished to lie down and not move.
After the meal, aside from the two pairs of chopsticks held by the combatants, all other utensils were cleared away by Su Yinhe.
She then hugged her tablet, bowed her head, and started playing a single-player game.
Qin Mingzhou, after Su Yinhe cleared the dishes, realized he’d been so caught up fighting with Chi Yan that he barely ate a few bites and was still hungry.
Turning to look at Chi Yan, thankfully, someone else was also starving.
Chi Yan took out a cup of soy milk and a steaming hot seaweed rice ball, gave him a light glance, retracted his look, and began eating the rice ball.
From Chi Yan’s nonchalant demeanor, Qin Mingzhou sensed scorn.
He had forgotten—Chi Yan has a superpower.
Miscalculated.
Qin Mingzhou ground his teeth and suddenly felt like biting someone.
Rubbing his empty stomach, Qin Mingzhou grudgingly bought a bowl of instant noodles and waited for them to soak, looking pitiful.
Watching Lin Murong: “…”
Why bother? Why fight during meals and spoil the focus on eating?
Lin Murong could not comprehend their thought process. In his view, the sky’s vast, the earth’s vast, but eating reigns supreme.
